Re: Taking Our Academic Medicine

Hi Ahmed,

Ginsparg once prepared a chart for a typical set of physics journals. Not sure if the qualifies as a "study" though. It is hard to estimate the
revenue piece for many publishers....

I would be interested in any study of the total "revenue" per page,
article, citation or use of not-for-profit journals versus commercial
journals. Such data of course will require knowing the number of total
paid subscribers to the journal which would be harder to get or
estimate, but will be useful in addition to the price a single
subscriber (per page, article, citation, or use) pays. Are there any
data available on this?
